Well... I do. It had an almost poetic way of reflecting onto the story about a psychopath, a human being having a monster inside him, when in the flashbacks Harry was talking to the kid Dexter in a dark shed, and the sunlight lit the half of their faces, the other side was pitch black. A beautiful way of suggesting everyone has a monster inside, a light side and a dark side, the way the narrative was told via dirty, grounded, almost naturalistic visuals mixed with playful, miami-life ones is what really make me miss the OG.
Now... do you also remember how boring the Season 3 was compared the previous two? Well, I do. We have already seen the most important outcomes of the possible situation Dexter can get in: almost getting caught, and that he almost gave himself up, and the latter seasons had little to say after that.
I'm watching episode 4... and I'm bored, still. I'm also having a feeling that I'm watching some CSI: Miami or something, an everyday crime TV show that you could watch anywhere since the early 2000s.
Where is the intriguing part of the hiding monster, and being slightly human, yet still something else? The mysticism about it, just like in the OG series? Where is that haunting aspect of the whole psychophath hiding amongst the normies thing? The dark pitch black side of the story? I still feel this is pointless to watch, but I still do, because... I'm waiting for that special something that might make sense out of all things this new series is showing here. And I don't want to talk about Patrick Wilson's portrayal anymore, there are just only some moments I feel his acting natural, organic, most of the times he is cosplaying, just like the others.
You know... while watching the OG series, it did feel like some high budget creation to which you can see how lots of work was put in. Here, there is also lots of work put into the project, but the execution ain't matching it at all. But most importantly... what is really left to say about Dexter's story? Is there any? I want the answers for that.
